Etixx are the worst tactical team in the world
The finish was a slipup, but getting 6 men in a 24 man echelon is no small feat. Plus its only because they have set such high expectations in the past that you expect them to win so often. Sure Omloop was a terrible moment for the team (three Etixx riders in the final 4 and Stannard takes the win), but sometimes you just have bad luck.
Oftentimes Etixx has to carry the responsibility of chasing or holding off the peloton on their own in the classics because they have won so many in the past. This responsibility leaves them vulnerable to defeats by fresher teams and riders. It is hard for me to call the most prolific team in the world as far as wins go the worst tactical team.
